Crystal Palace have a representative in the European team of the week alongside Barcelona superstars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

But the identity of the Palace player included in WhoScored.com's team of the week may come as a surprise to some.

Patrick van Aanholt is the Premier League's sole representative in the team, which is made up of players from the 'big five' leagues.

Van Aanholt was on target for the Eagles in the 5-0 thrashing of Leicester City at Selhurst Park, with the former Chelsea and Sunderland man netting his third goal of the season as he scored the fourth goal of the afternoon.

And Palace star Wilfried Zaha has been nominated for the April player of the month award. He is up against Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Tottenham's Christian Eriksen, West Brom midfielder Jake Livermore, Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling and Manchester United's Paul Pogba.
